AL-800F AMERITRON AL800F[AL800F]

Ameritron's compact AL-800/AL-800H amps are both desktop linears with plenty of muscle!
At 14¬"W x 8«"H x 14«"D, the more compact AL-800F uses a single 3CX800A7 to provide 1250 Watts PEP SSB and 850 Watts CW with 85 Watts typical drive level.
And the AL-800F will even run afrom a 20-Amp 120Vac line source if desired. AL-800F typically draws 17 Amps peak current at 120Vac, or 8 Amps at 240Vac and weighs just 51 lbs.
For more power and headroom, the AL800H uses a pair of 3CX800A7 tubes to easily provide 1500 Watts PEP/CW with a typical drive level of just 55 Watts.
The AL-800H draws 14 Amps peak current at 240Vac (1500 Watts CW output) and weighs just 52 lbs.
Other than power differences, these amplifiers are very similar in features and operation. Both cover 160-15 Meters, and are modifiable to cover 12/10 Meters with proof of your FCC license.
Both include a Step-Start input power circuit, a time delay circuit to allow for tube warm-up, thermal overload protection, grid current limiting to protect your tube(s), a DynamicBias circuit and a built-in multi-voltage (14 user-
selectable AC line voltages from 90-140; 200-250Vac) heavy duty power transformer. Hefty 32 lb. grain orientated silicone steel core transformer.
Front panel monitoring and tuning functions are also virtually identical. Both amplifiers include a Standby/Operate switch for barefoot or full power operation, an ALC SET control, Transmit and Fault LEDs.
Dual illumincated Cross-Needle meters provide detailed monitoring of amplifier performance. The left meter continuously measures grid and plate currents, and the right meter continuously measures peak RF output power on one scale, and
plate voltage, Reflected power and SWR, ALC voltage, and ALC adjustment set.
Quiet pressurized ventilation keeps tubes safely cooled. A Pi/Pi-L output network gives you smooth tuning and wide matching range. Vernier reduction drives make tuning and loading adjustments smooth and easy.
